Search Again: coincidence? From: Nick Quinn Date: Thursday, June 15, 2000 Time: 4:05:25 pm hi, Amongst others, we have a 5400 with 72MB running QuickDNS, MacRadius = and SIMS (being supported by MacOS 9.0, Timbuktu and MacCoach) for over = 2 years. Having 72MB, I allowed QuickDNS (2.2.1) 10MB to cache its = stuff, and everything runs hunkydory (translates to OK) most of the = time except for: - the occasional freeze when Timbuktu shows the menu bar clock seconds = stopped for a minute or so and then off it goes again, and - every two weeks or so MacCoach restarts the system due to a nothing = happening for 5 minutes (ie a long freeze) I "Timbuktu" to the server 2 or 3 times a day to administer email, dns = and radius and I noticed a couple of days ago that the QuickDNS' free = memory was getting down to well under 1MB and thought to myself "oh, = its due for a restart". And sure enough, the 36 hours later, that is = what happened. Has anyone else had this coincidence? Have I given QuickDNS too much rope and memory management is getting = knotted when free memory gets to zero? Should I simply restart every week at a preset time, just to be safe? Upgrade MacOS to 9.0.4? Any other prayers or incantations? Or should I tiptoe out of the office this weekend thanking my lucky = stars for such a peacefull two weeks?
